The Next Level 2013: Palm Beach County players in Division I football and the NFL

On this list you’ll find every Palm Beach County player playing at the FBS or NFL level as of Aug. 11. We’re working on updating the list to include FCS, Division II, Division III, NAIA and junior college players. A special thanks to Pete Thomson, who puts together these lists for the entire state.

This list is by no means complete — there will almost certainly be a player or two missing. Contact me in the comment section below if I’ve missed anyone. The goal is to follow the progress of players.

Fun facts from the updated 2013 group:

— There are 25 area players currently on the opening-day NFL rosters. Pahokee has the most NFL alumni among area teams, with five. Glades Central (four) is second on the list. Atlantic has three. Dwyer and Leonard both have two.

— FIU and FSU now have the most local kids on its roster among the in-state FBS teams, with 13. FAU is second. Florida’s really fallen off, down to three players from the area.

— Marshall continues its local flavor, with eight area alumni on its roster. Bowling Green, Louisville and Wake Forest each have seven local players. Auburn is fifth with six.

— 156 local kids from Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast play FBS football.
